We had a groundbreaking week last week -- literally -- and now we’re very excited to formally launch the Fruitful Communities initiative in DeKalb County at the Fruitful Communities Forum at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, April 14 via Zoom.
The forum will highlight what Fruitful Communities is all about and begin the conversation with DeKalb County residents about what's possible and how to get involved. As you know, we love edible and native landscaping and we can't wait to share our excitement with you! Register for the Fruitful Communities Forum here.
We’ve also opened up our Grow, Don’t Mow 101 Training for landscapers. If you’re interested in learning about Productive Urban Landscapes, you can sign up here.
As you can see, we have a lot going on! We are grateful for the opportunity to grow and help DeKalb County become more fruitful
